“What’s my plan? You know I’m a member of the Elemental Hand, right? There’s one person that I have to protect in the organization, I can’t just give up and leave.” Angele looked at the sky calmly. “What’s your plan? I think we all know what we have to do.”

“We know how the Fairy Empire is treating you and we’ll never serve an empire like that. Princess Lela gathered the elites of the underground world and I gathered my servants as well. It might be a wise decision to join Prince Evil Dragon. We’re your servants after all…” Turin was trying to imply something.

Angele smiled. Turin knew that Angele signed the chaos contract with Prince Evil Dragon and it meant that Prince Evil Dragon would help Angele when necessary.

“This’ll be the last time I contact you using the ring since we’re pretty much telling the intel center what we’re thinking.”

“Sure.”

*Crack*

A strange noise came from the ring, it seemed like Turin had cracked his ring.

Angele thought for a while and decided not to destroy the ring, he just put it into the pouch.

The two wooden dragons that were passing by noticed Angele’s presence and flew to him.

*WO*

Two black shadows charged to Angele and tried to grab him using their claws. A strong force appeared in the air and it dragged Angele to the wooden dragons’ claws.

“Of course they’ll attack me after the conversation I just had.” Angele remained calm, he quickly stepped back.

A ball of red flames appeared at his original location.

The flames turned into a creature, it was the lion man created by Angele’s new talent ability.

The lion man had dark-red skin and there was a pair of wings on his back. The scorpion sign was flashing between his brow. The man was muscular and terrifying.

*Roar*

The lion man roared at the wooden dragons and opened his wings, charging at them.

Angele took out a black glass bottle on the ground.

*KA*

The glass bottle cracked and exploded into a ball of black smoke, flying to the two wooden dragons.

It seemed like the black smoke created illusions and distracted the two wooden dragons. They flew by Angele and landed on the ground. They hesitated for a second and tried to return to the sky.

“My illusion ability only distracted the dragons for a second?” Angele was surprised and quickly grabbed the black wings of a dragon.

*CHI*

The wings of the wooden dragon were ripped off. The dragon turned its head around and tried to bite Angele’s arm, however, Angele predicted its action and blocked the attack using his elbow.

*Bam*

The wooden dragon exploded into pieces of black substances and dropped to the ground.

The other wooden dragon groaned and flew into the air. It charged at Angele again and tried to hit Angele’s eyes. Also, the dragon released some black flames from its mouth.

The lion man was a bit slow, however, he successfully blocked the claws and the flames using his arms.

*CHI*

Red light flashed on the lion man’s body and his chest was hit by the dragon’s claws, however, the flames did not do any damage to him.

The lion man groaned after taking the hit and slapped the wooden dragon’s head with both hands.

The wooden dragon was dizzy after being hit.

At the same time, a hand grabbed the dragon’s hand and gripped it.

*BOOM*

The dragon’s head exploded in the air.

Angele finished the dragon off like nothing.

‘The same level as a rank 1 wizard but there are so many of them.’ His sight fell upon the lion man.

The lion man was devouring the remains of the two wooden dragons. It only took seconds for the lion man to finish most of them.

Suddenly, black light flashed on the lion man and it felt like the lion man was strengthened. Its power level was already higher than the wooden dragon.

Angele analyzed the lion man using the biochip.

‘The fire energy in the wooden dragon’s body is perfect for my lion man. I shall summon as many lion men as I can and ask them to absorb the wooden dragons’ remains. Maybe they’ll be strengthened.’

The flames formed more than ten lion men that looked the same around Angele.

Angele checked the mentality cost and was satisfied with the result.

‘The lion men are weak at first, however, they can be strengthened by suitable energy and I don’t have to do anything after. The lion men have the general fighting skills and they can follow simple orders. There’s no time limitation and they’ll work great during the war.’

Angele was a rank 3 wizard and his talent abilities were not aggressive.

The Stone Golem was used for defense.

The lion men were great for wars.

The elemental abilities could save his life under certain circumstances.

Angele could use potions and offensive spells he had to attack, also, he had the illusion ability from the scorpion woman and the strong body from the single-eyed giant. He was like a normal rank 3 wizard in the main world, but he would not be killed easily.

He scanned the sky after finishing off the two wooden dragons and noticed that four more wooden dragons were charging toward him. It seemed like the dragons noticed the changes.

Angele saw that the wizards were still fighting in the sky. He quickly disappeared into a ball of red flames.

After the blink of an eye, Angele’s body appeared in the forest.

‘I should check on the terror core since it’s a chaos here. The Elemental Hand chose to fight back for a reason. Price Evil Dragon’s alliance might also fight back since this is probably the best chance. I should pay Prince Evil Dragon a visit and collect some information.’

Angele looked at the sky and noticed that the battle was still going on. He sighed slightly and drew several blue runes in the air. With a flick of his finger, the runes turned into a blue plate and floated in front of his face.

“This is Green. Don’t worry, Mother. I’m worried about my friends and I want to check on them. I’ll be careful and I’ll return to the headquarters right after I finish.”

Angele talked to the blue plate, it seemed like he was leaving a message.

After finishing those words, he pushed the plate, which turned into countless blue light dots, disappearing into the air.

Although he knew Vivian would still be worried, Angele had to leave the area for a while. He pressed on his chest and was about to teleport.

Suddenly, the biochip reported back.

‘Analysis completed. Simulation completed. Task completed.’

Angele was excited. ‘Show me the results now and tell me how I can advance to rank 4.’

‘First, you need to remove the impurities from your mentality, which is the mentality acquired from the negative emotions. Second, you need to create a drop of elemental light in your body.’

‘Impurities?’

There was a bitter smile on Angele’s face. He did not expect the dark mentality to be considered as impurities. There was only one explanation for the situation.

He could only choose one method, the bloodline or the normal wizard progression. The normal mentality and the dark mentality could not be combined.

‘Elemental light is the sign of a rank 4 wizard and can be created using the wizard’s talent…’ Angele had read about the information he acquired from Vivian and knew what the elemental light was.

He needed to create a ray of pure elemental light to become a rank 4 wizard. However, he needed a clean body, a purified soul, and the purified mentality to complete the procedure.

‘Clean body… There are so many bloodlines in my body, I assume that I don’t have a clean body… A purified soul is also impossible.’ Angele was a bit speechless.

‘I won’t be able to advance to rank 4 then.’

The result was as expected, however, Angele was still a bit depressed. He had to try to become stronger in the Nightmare Realm.

Eye Devil and the other lords were stronger, but Angele had no idea how they were sealed. He still had a lot of things to learn.

Angele pressed on the center of his chest and disappeared into the air.
